Heh You are right Eli!
Its working and I didn't know it
I turn on windows once every 6 months and towards maintaining my BP
I dont turn it on again for another 6
In the session which I tried it didn't work... Didnt try again
And in all fairness *nix is just the same: Changing .profile does not work
immediately
Not directly germane to emacs but it would sure help if this fact were mentioned
in the docs.
